  • Patent number: 9813937
    Abstract: An object is to perform a priority control that is more elaborate than that is performed by using a QCI. In a mobile communication system according to the present invention, a mobility management node MME notifies a radio base station eNB, in an “Initial Context Setup procedure” or an “E-RAB Setup Procedure”, following pieces of information in an associated form: an “E-RAB ID” of an E-RAB to be established between a gateway device S-GW and a mobile station UE; one QCI that is assigned to the E-RAB; and one FPI that is assigned to data flow transmitted on the E-RAB. A radio base station eNB establishes, in response to the notification, one S1 bearer corresponding to the E-RAB between the gateway device S-GW and the radio base station and one DRB corresponding to the E-RAB between the mobile station UE and the radio base station.

  • Patent number: 9706474
    Abstract: When a network is requiring access barring, a mobile device determines whether a reference value broadcasted to the mobile device indicates a value determining that an access is denied regardless of a numerical value generated by the mobile device, or indicates a value having a possibility that an access of a certain mobile device is denied while an access of another mobile device is allowed. In the latter case, the mobile device determines appropriateness of an access by performing predetermined processing using the reference value as a value to be checked for a relationship with a numerical value generated by the mobile device when the mobile device does not have a special type access class, and uses a value enabling allowance of an access without performing the predetermined processing as a value for determining appropriateness of an access when the mobile device has the special type access class.
